He has bought and now owns some twenty thousand acres of his present range, aud will undoubtedly market. He now owns 2G,000 head of cat tie, and will have this number after his sales for tlie present year ate completed. The number of calves branded this year on his ranche will be from 4,500 to 5,000 heed, I and his sales of three and four year old steers nnc fat cows the present fall will probably amount to about the same number. Ho told me he expected to realize the sum of $::! per head net on his sales this year. At this i ate 4,500 head would bring him the snug little sum of $148,500. To take care of this immense herd lie employs from twelve to thirty-five men very few usually in the winter and the largest number dur ing the "round ups" in the spring. At the present time he has twenty-four men employed and is cutting out of his herd the four-year old steers and fat cows which he intends to ship. While engaged at this work the same, men are gathering the cows with uubranded calves, which they put into tho corrals near by, and after the calves are branded they are turned loose with the herd again. His herd is rapidly being graded up by the introduction of thorough bred Durham bulls. In addition to the cattle raised on his ranche, he deals largely in Texas and Indian cattle, and has now advertised for 20, 0(H) head of Texas cattle to bo delivered at his ranche in July of next year. Mr. Iliff estimates the increase of cattle from his home herd outside of LLKcrio.vs t'nk place in ten other States besides Pennsylvania la3t Tues day. In MasHicbusetts, the Republi can succeeded in defeating Gaston, who was elected Governor last year by a political miracle. In Xew York tlie Democratic State ticket was elected, but by what majority we cannot now definitely state. New Jersey elected a IU-publ tea Legislature. In Maryland, Carroll. Democrat, is elected Gover nor by a sm.-ill majority, with a Dem ocratic Legislature. Wisconsin, Min nesota and Kansas went for the Ile publicnns. Mfcsta'-ippi cut loose from cirpet-bag rule and elected four Dem ocrats to one Republican to Congress. Virginia doubtless cbcted a Demo cratic Legislature, although we have vet seen but few returns from that fitate. The majority for the Repub lican ticket in Pennsylvania will prob ably reach 10,000. m Tub Agricultural Department re ports tlie condition of the corn crop, as given on the 1st of October, as ex ceptionally high. Its average status in Beveral of tho States is above the standard of good condition ; i. e , in extra thrift and productive vigor. This is the case in all the Southern States except Louisiana nnd Texas; in all the Middle States except New York ; and in Missouri and Kansas in the West. In the remaining States, with few exceptions, the avernges are higher than utial of late years, after tho customary ravages of insects and withering of drought. Wisconsin ap pears to have sustained most injury from frost. In the Ohio Valley States the extraordinary promise of September has been somewhat re duced by frost in low lands, or in the area planted late and slow in matur ing. There will be a large quantity of unmerchantable corn soft and loose on the ear, and a considerable propor tion of unsound fodder. The crop will be comparatively large in quanti ty, but poor in quality, except in the Southern and Pacific States, Some in jury from frost, between September 20th and 30th, resulted as far South as Tennessee in tlie West, and from Maine to Yitginia on the Atlantic coast. In the South, the principal losses resulted from storms. The equinoctial in Texas was very de structive in the Southern part of the State. Worms caused some damage in Florida, and -drought was injurious In portions of the State. The political battle in Pennsylva nia has been fought and the Democra cy have been dele itcd. Whether the result has been achieved by fair means or foul, remains yet to be develojcd. lluitranft's majority in Philadelphia is 17, '152. That city has a population of about 780,000, and the registry lists contained the names of 171,000 er sons as legal electors; but no one who is not a fool doubts that the lists cm braced forty thousand illegal or ficti tious names. Judge Ludlow, upon whom was imposed the onerous task, struck from only a portion of these fradulent registry lists over licelce thousand names, and if the work could have been continued lonir cnouiih. twenty thousand more would have dis appeared. It is simply incredible that Philadelphia, with more than two bundled thousand less population than New York, should have oa the regis try lists almost thirty thousand more qualified voters, the nutnlier in New York at the late cloction being 144, 000. It is now the first time that fradulent rotes in Philadelphia have cheated the Democracy of the State out of their candidate for Governor. It was done in 18f9 when Asa Packer ran Kgainst John W. Geary, and the fraud has lieen admitted by some of the very-. scoundrels who took a lead ing part in its perpetration.

Finally he ' did return in about an hour, and exhibited the same uneasiness that was remarked be fore. After trying various ruses to attract the farrily to follow him to the wood, he finally started in that direction with more than half of the resident. of the hamlet af ter him. He led them through many winding paths, until at last they reached a chestnut grove, and there they found the boy lying under a tree with his leg broken. The boy himself told tlie facts of tlie case to our reporter substantially as follows: He was upon the tree, and shaking it with all his might to shako off the nuts, and lost his hold and tumbled down, his leg striking the ground with force. He fainted, and the first thing that met his gaze when he became conscious, was the dog standing over him. This was on Friday evening, and the dog never left his side, but kept baiking with all his might until Saturday morning. The pangs of hunger the boy felt pretty keenly at this time, aud he made an attempt to reach some nuts that lay on the ground a short distance from him.

His shipping points are at Pine HlutVs and Julesburg on the Union Pacific, and at Deer's Trail on the Kansas Pacific. Lest any one should come to the conclusion that this business is all profit and that the expenses do not amount to much, let me further state that Mr. IlifTs policy is to keep his expenses as low as possible, having the keeping and safety of his cattle constantly in view. Last year I thiukjthe expense of herding, &c, amount ed to less than $15,000, and will amount to a still less sum this year. But the losses from thefts and death some years are frightful. The winter of '71-2 1 "think was very severe. There weic deep snows over his range that remained on the giound a long time, nnd the storms were incessant. In the midst if these storms Mr. Iliff visited his ranche and found his cattle literally dying hy thousands. On tho island in the South Platte River he found and drove off into the sand hills on the south sido after great exertion, some 2. 700 head, and of this numberless than half have since been re covered. Their bleaching bones now whi ten the plains in the vicinity where they were frozen and starved to death, and chose that were recovered were found in two dif ferent Stales and four different Teriitories mi the Union. More than $24,000 were ex pended in tiying to find them. Nor was thin all. It was impossible to tell for a number of years how much tho loss had been. His books showed nearly five thousand head unaccounted for. Nt) trace of them beyond skeletons could be found, and at last in the spring of 1874, I think it was this number was charged to profit and loss account, and the books balanced for a new stait. This large number would probably have averaged at least $20 per head could they have been sold tho fall previous and at. this rate they would have amounted to $100,000. I estimate his capital invested in the cattle business at $ri0).f!00, and yet from its very nature bo is liable to lose half of it dm ing the coming season. Like other business ventures, if a man goes into it of course he takes the chances. Omaha Herald. posited in the boy's lap. He ato of it with relish, and then became lonesome and be gan to cry.

Sailors Eaten nr Cannibals. A year ago last February, the bark Jewess, of Hos ton, sailed from New South Wales in the direction of Auckland Islands, a group which lies in the South Pacific ocean, near New Zealand. A few days later, the ltos ton bark, Delia M. Long, and an English baik, name unknown, followed on the same course. No tidings of the two Host on ves sels were received until recently, when Captain Brower of Biddcford, Me., of the bark Marathon of New York, returning ironi a voyage round the world, brought back a terrible story in regard to thorn. At one of the poits at w hich hi stopped he had fallen in with a sailor, or some one w ho knew him, who purported to be the sole fttirvivor of the three crews. Tho vessels, he said, bad become W calmed in the vicinity of the Auckland Islands, and laid there together several days. They were boarded at night by cannibals, who came in -large numbers, overpowered the crews, plundered the shis and entiled them. Thi men were carried prisoners to the shore and furnish ed food for a horrible feast for their cap tors. No particulars of the fighr, or of the survivor's escape, were obtained, but the facts are pretty well authenticated, and the long absence of the vessels furnishes good ground for believing that the story may bo true. The survivor was one of tho crew of the Jewess, and be is said to have related that tho surprise was complete, the vessels be ing some distance from land, and no signs of enemies having been seen..

Edgar Thomson, late President of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, who died in May, 1874, left a ortioti of his estate, valued at over $1,000,000, for the education and maintenance of female or phans of railway employes whose fathers were killed while in the discharge of their duties. There are claims against the es tate which if allowed will prevent carrying into effect the desire of the testator. Several years ago there was a fashion among Paris suicideis of jumping from Inch places, and that mode of self destruc tion seems likely lo lecome popular in this j country. iot long ago a young man tluevr himself from the Washington monument in Baltimore. A few days afterward a woman leaped f-om a church steeple in New Or leans. And now a religious mani.ic has used the Chicago water wurks tower for a similar purpose. I la ii y tihaul deliberately shot and kill ed Joseph Smith, alia "Little Smith." at the saloon of Bill Williams, alias tinger Bill," on Exchange street, Rochestor, 2s". Y., late on Monday night.

During a gale and snow storm on Sunday an accident by which atiout seventeen per sons lost their lives occurred at St. Familie, Isle of Orleans. The people were pi inci j al ly residentsof tho Island, returning from market, and were being landed from the sieamer in a scow, w hichxapsized, and all on board, with one exception, were drowned. During the sam gale John Campbell, chief officer of the Steamer Canal Line, and a la borer were drowned. Samuel Dennis went out in a boat to shoot ducks, i'i a pond in Wayne county, this State. He dropped his ramrod ovor- board, and in making a suddu movement to save it, himself ffll into the water and was drowned. Just a year previously, to the very day and honr, John Dennis, a brother of Samnel, was drowned in precise ly the same vay, and tlie recommendation is urged that no more of the Dennis family go duck hunting. An apparatus for washing smoke, and thus depriving it -of its character of a nuisance, is in ojration at a factoiy at Menilmontanr, Paris, A fine shower of water, traveling in the direction of the smoke, and at five times its velocity, is pto jectcd into the chimney, where it mixes with the smoke, taking up the soluble gases and precipitating the impurities earned up with the smoke by the draught. The foul water is discharged into a cistern, where it is collected, aud a fine black paint is got fiom it, John King of Tennessee is very busy asking questions abont what has taken place during the last thirteen years. He had a farm in Tennessee in 18G2, and the soldiers of both armies made themselves cordially at home on his premises. So he removed with all his produce to a cave in the Cumberland Mountains. A storm threw down a rock, which closed tho mouth of the cave. Therein be lived for thirteen years, in the dark, eating from his produce and drinking from a spring. The other day a railroad company, blasting for a tun nel, blasted him out. The Erie (Pa.,) Dispatch relates the following instance of a woman's power of endurance : "A young woman, a few days since, walked from Warren to the Rouse Hospital in this place, and asked admission. The Superintendent refused her. She then walked the same dAv six teen miles further, to Spring Creek, was delivered of a child when alone, wrapped it in her apron, loft it on the doorsteps of a citizen of the place, and walked on a dis tance of seven miles to Corry before day light the next morning.
